LMAOOOOO HE DID!

Usual "Rhea BaD" with a side dish, I guess, of "Flayn BaD bcs she's complicit in Rhea's cReSt SyStEm and didn't do a thing to change it despite waking up 3 hours ago"

But

Really

Macuil discourse???

Since when Birdie tries to "actively murders humans who dare" approach him???

Birdie : Thieves... Only by defeating me can you claim the secret treasure!

Some dude : he actively murders humans who approach him :'(

The "You have had your fun. If you are going to flee, now is your chance. If you are not going to flee... I shall take your life as payment!" Macuil?? Kills humans ? Randomly ?

Also Indech puts humans to test for funsies if humans are seeking his bow!

Mmh, love the scent of Nemesis whitewashing in the evening.

Remember, killing people to make weapons from their bones is "morally grey"!

I wonder what "morally black" is then.

I used to loiter a lot on SF but not that much on Redshit but I suppose it’s either a bait to invite some passionate fans to discuss about why character X sucks, or misinterpretation of a character, like someone posted (i know i checked i’m weak) something about how Seliph is persuaded it is his duty to defeat Julius to save the world, and i’m just... WTF dude?

F!Lewyn is the one to infodump all that shit on him (tbh he kind of sent him to death if he didn’t knew who was Julia?), Base!Seliph wanted to avenge his dad, to stop hiding and to stop the Dozel goons wrecking Isaach. Base!Seliph never thought he was the chosen one to defeat his evil half-brother, ffs he isn’t even sure the brat is his half-bro!

--> Leif made the choice to abandon Eyvel : WTF????

--> Eyvel’s lesson being : “know when you are overmatched and should bide your time to fight another day, be smart and cautious” : are we talking about the woman who, as soon as she heard her two daughter were captured by the Empire, ran after them in the following hour?

Leif’s goes on full-aggressive and loses, the topic opener kind of forgot about Dorias, something something siege until Holy Cousin comes to save him, something something we can’t save everyone in Tahra and we hate it, something something A route “death and glory” leading to casualties and August reminding Dorias that they could have been avoided, Dorias apologising for the A route. So nope, the game punishes Leif for being aggressive and trying to be The Hero.

Still, FE5!Leif has had enough of “biding his time” while everyone he loves is dying/being fridged for his sake - Eyvel’s the final straw. Leif wants to help people, even if he doesn’t have the manpower to do so. He saves random children, he does things worthy to be called a hero by Ced.

Yes, he learnt his lesson, but also cannot spit on his values, or some part of the Quanist doctrine that made his dad the “ahem” loved lord everyone mourns (lel) in the peninsula - if someone helps him, then Leif will, in return, help that someone.

FE5!Leif doesn’t join his cousin’s holy war to destroy Travant ASAP, he must return to Manster and save Eyvel, because she is his mom, she helped him when he was in need and now he will repay her.

FE5!Leif will hijack a Lopto detention center to rescue his friends, even if it is a fucking map with a time limit else OP enemies span and you die, because Leif will not let anyone behind - he will not abandon anyone.

August himself acknowledges it at the end of the game (also when Dorias dies T-T) : being slow and steady, bidding your time until idk while randoms are suffering isn’t enough to create a Hero. The Hero must be smart and cautious, but also willing to fight against all odds, even when he is outnumbered and never abandon his allies.

:)

Fodlan AU : Seteth joins, because really, Rhea should have told him about her homonculi.

Then what, Indech and Macuil are also creating "beings" (if the phantoms could be called beings) for their own sake? Utterly ridiculous. Hubert and Edel share a disgusted look when Uncle is overjoyed with the news.

Flayn thinks it's a bad idea, Jeritza makes her afraid and she really has bad memories about her abduction.

"but rhea lied to us!"

During the assault on Garreg Mach, Rhea's having an attack seeing the two side with Edel "are you completely mad?! She wants to take what's left of our family to turn humans into monsters, and she captured your daughter for her blood!"

(think of when Tibarn talks to rafiel during Fe10)

"yeah, but you lied to us! You want to revive Sothis!"

"because if she returns then maybe we won't have to hide anymore?!?"

"nah who cares about self preservation, cethleann and I will join Edel because lying's bad"

Things happen, Rhea doesn't target her family but hyperbeams Byleth.

During the timeskip Seteth is invited to Arundel's estate. He goes without Flayn, because she had to heal wounded soldiers who were hurt trying to conquer the continent :'(

Flayn's afraid of overexhaustion and of falling asleep, again, but she has to heal those people trying to conquer Faerghus and kill her deceiving aunt. Seteth didn't think anything was wrong when Flayn said she was going to have a sleepover at the Imperial palace with Edel and her friends.

Arundel invites Seteth to his basement, he and his friends have some "object" to show him. It's a "handmade" shiny golden wand, with Cethleann's crest in it.

Seteth's horrified where's Flayn, what have they done to her, she was supposed to spend some time with her friends, Edel enters "ah yes now she's sleeping forever but far from being a poison now she's useful"

She then turns to Thales "do whatever you want with him but remember I need power to liberate the world from the goddess and her children"

Seteth doesn't understand, what's happening, Edel turned against him but why

"the goddess and her children must be eradicated humans should rule themselves from now on"

Seteth says he never wanted to rule over anyone, but Edel leaves while Thales and other mole people gang on Seteth

His last thought was "everything's rhea fault, fuck the church" before being vivisected by the Emperor's scientific division.

Byleth wakes up a few years later, asks about Seteth and Flayn "rhea killed them because they opposed her", only Linhardt thinks something's wrong because Rhea didn't attack them 5 years ago but wc

"oh and look, the church lied they hid those relics - a magical wand and a magical spear with Cethleann and Cichol's crest stones in it!"
